What caliber lobsters, how many bullets in the magazines or were they single shot? Just curious. Love the smell of gunpowder and fresh cooked lobster.

Warden Simmons said yesterday that Chau spent six days in jail after he was arrested a third time by him and warden Borjeson. Once again, Chau was reported to be in the La Jolla State Marine Conservation Area, this time with three undersized lobsters, Simmons said. Because he had shown chronic disregard for Fish and Game laws, Chau was booked into San Diego County Jail, where he was held for six days. Chau combined the three cases the DFG made against him and plead guilty. His plea agreement called for three years' probation, with a penalty of 90 days in jail if he violates his probation, 13 days' work service, three-year suspension of all fishing in state ocean waters out to three miles and a $500 fine.

Sounds like a good reason for deportation to me!

Screw deportation, just take off the rubber bands!

"Say Margie, this lobster has a peculiar nut like flavor!"

Having lived in a fishing town in MA for some time, I'd say he was lucky the cops got to him before the lobster men did. Those guys do that for a living in real tough conditions. And they can get down right nasty when you take food out of their kids mouths.

Not much to do with hunting--or fishing, really.

And nowhere was it written that Chau is not a citizen.
